See Notes to Condensed Financial Statements The Morgan Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (Unaudited) June 30, 2000 Note 1.Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared by The Morgan Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company"), in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included for complete financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The balance sheet at December 31, 1999 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, notes thereto and other information included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. Net income per common share ("EPS") is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Since each share of Class B common stock is freely convertible into one share of Class A common stock, the total of the weighted average number of shares for both classes of common stock is considered in the computation of EPS. The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) necessary for a fair presentation, in all material respects, of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, Morgan Drive Away, Inc., TDI, Inc., Interstate Indemnity Company, and Morgan Finance, Inc., all of which are wholly owned. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Note 2. Indebtedness The Company has a $20,000,000 revolving credit facility ("Credit Facility") which expires February 28, 2001, and is subject to renewal annually, thereafter. The Credit Facility was amended March 30, 2000 to limit payment of dividends to $120,000 annually, to prohibit the acquisition of the Company's common stock, and to limit borrowings and letters of credit to the borrowing base. Note 3.Segment Reporting Description of Services by Segment The Company operates in four business segments: manufactured housing, driver outsourcing, specialized outsourcing services, and insurance and finance. The manufactured housing segment primarily provides specialized transportation to companies which produce new manufactured homes and modular homes through a network of terminals located in thirty-one states. The driver outsourcing segment provides outsourcing transportation primarily to manufacturers of recreational vehicles, commercial trucks, and other specialized vehicles through a network of service centers in seven states. The specialized outsourcing services segment consists of large trailer, travel and small trailer delivery. The fourth segment, insurance and finance, provides insurance and financing to the Company's drivers and independent owner-operators. This segment also acts as a cost center whereby all property damage and bodily injury and cargo costs are captured. The Company's segments are strategic business units that offer different services and are managed separately based on the differences in these services. The driver outsourcing segment and the specialized outsourcing services were reported as one segment titled "Specialized Outsourcing Services" in the prior year. The prior year periods have been restated. Measurement of Segment (Loss) The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is business segment operating income, defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. Except for insurance premiums, there are no significant intersegment revenues. The following table presents the financial information for the Company's reportable segments for the three and six month periods ended June 30, (in thousands):

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations RESULTS OF OPERATIONS For the Quarter Ended June 30, 2000 Consolidated Results During the second quarter of 2000, the Company continued to experience shipment and profit declines in its manufactured housing and specialized outsourcing business segments while the segment profit/loss of driver outsourcing and insurance and finance improved. In the second quarter, consolidated operating revenues decreased 25.6 percent to $29,961,000 from 1999's second quarter of $40,270,000. This decrease is primarily the result of a sharp industry-wide decline in shipments of manufactured homes. Additionally, operating revenues decreased significantly in the specialized outsourcing business segment. Second quarter 2000 operating revenues increased from first quarter 2000 by 7.5 percent principally due to the seasonality of the businesses. However, this volume increase was approximately half of the rate experienced in the prior year. The manufactured housing industry continues to be hampered by tighter credit standards and rising interest rates at the retail level, and a resultant excessive inventory of new and repossessed homes, which directly impacts production and sales volume of the Company's customers. The largest portion of the Company's operating revenues is derived from the transportation of manufactured homes. The Company believes that the depressed level of shipments in manufactured housing will continue through this year, possibly moderating the following year. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") was a profit of $401,000 for the quarter, compared with a profit of $744,000 for the corresponding period last year. Because of the existence of significant non-cash expenses, such as depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of intangible assets, the Company believes that EBITDA contributes to a better understanding of the Company's ability to satisfy its obligations and to utilize cash for other purposes. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for operating income, cash flow from operating activities, and other consolidated income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Net interest expense decreased from $119,000 in the second quarter of 1999 to $76,000 in 2000 as a result of continued improved cash management which reduced the amount of borrowings from the credit facility. Accordingly, net income for the second quarter of 2000 was $17,000 or $0.01 per basic share, compared to net income of $169,000 or $0.07 per basic share, for the same period of the prior year. The Company continues to review incremental marketing initiatives, is continuously reviewing staffing levels and expenditures to reduce its overhead structure. Segment Results The Company conducts its operations in four principal segments as discussed below. The following discussion sets forth certain information about the segment results. Manufactured Housing Manufactured Housing operating revenues are generated from providing transportation and logistical services to manufacturers of manufactured homes. Manufactured Housing operating revenues were $7,653,000 or 27.7 percent less in the second quarter of 2000 compared to the second quarter of a year ago, reflecting the continued softness in the manufactured housing industry. Manufactured Housing EBITDA decreased primarily due to the lower quarter-to-quarter shipment volume. EBITDA decreased $1,212,000 to $1,896,000. Driver Outsourcing Driver outsourcing provides outsourcing transportation services primarily to manufacturers of recreational vehicles, commercial trucks and other specialized vehicles. Operating revenues of $5,820,000 decreased $503,000 in the second quarter of 2000 compared to the second quarter of 1999. However, EBITDA increased to $436,000 in the second quarter of 2000 primarily due to the elimination of low margin business and to reductions in transportation and overhead costs. Specialized Outsourcing Services Specialized Outsourcing Services consists of delivering large trailers, travel and other small trailers and another specialized transport service ("Decking"). Operating revenues decreased by $2,008,000 in the second quarter of 2000 to $3,883,000. This decrease was primarily in the delivery of large trailers but also from the Decking operations. The Company essentially ceased delivery of the Decking units in the second quarter 2000. EBITDA decreased $166,000 compared to the year ago quarter to $24,000 in the second quarter 2000. This decrease is primarily due to the volume decreases. Insurance/Finance The Company's Insurance/Finance segment provides insurance and financing services to the Company's drivers and independent owner-operators. This segment also acts as a cost center whereby all bodily injury, property damage and cargo loss costs are captured. Insurance/Finance operating revenues decreased $298,000 in the second quarter of 2000 to $734,000 primarily reflecting a decrease in owner-operator insurance premiums caused by the slow-down in the manufactured housing industry. The loss at the EBITDA level in the second quarter of 2000 compared to the second quarter of the prior year decreased by $673,000 to $1,703,000 primarily due to decreases in cargo related claims but also lower bodily injury and property damage losses. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS For the First Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 For the first six months of 2000, operating revenues decreased to $57,828,000 from $75,595,000 for the same period last year. The decrease in operating revenues was primarily in Manufactured Housing but also decreased in the other business segments. EBITDA decreased $1,582,000 to a loss of $204,000 for the six month period of 2000 compared to the year ago period. This decrease was caused by Manufactured Housing and Specialized Outsourcing Services business segments partially offset by improved performance in Driver Outsourcing and the Insurance and Finance business segment. Net interest expense decreased $74,000 compared to the year ago period for the reasons previously noted. Accordingly, the net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $599,000 or $0.24 per diluted share, compared to net income of $287,000 or $0.11 per diluted share, for the same period of the prior year. The Company has instituted staff reduction and other cost savings initiatives. It is currently estimated that the cost savings of these initiatives will approximate $2,400,000 annually. The impact of the cost savings for 2000 is expected to approximate $1,800,000, net of severance costs. Segment Results The following discussion sets forth certain information about the segment results for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. Manufactured Housing Manufactured Housing operating revenues were $13,315,000 less in the first half of 2000 compared to the prior year period. As previously discussed, the decreases in operating revenues are primarily due to the continued softness in the Manufactured Housing industry. Manufactured Housing EBITDA decreased $2,119,000, primarily due to the reduction in volume partially offset by decreased overhead costs. Driver Outsourcing Operating revenues decreased by $609,000 in the first six months of 2000 compared to the first six months of 1999. This decrease as previously discussed occurred primarily in the second quarter. However, EBITDA increased from $109,000 to $906,000 primarily due to improved pricing, and reductions in transportation and overhead costs. Specialized Outsourcing Services Operating revenues decreased by $3,566,000 in the first six months of 2000 compared to the first six months of 1999. This decrease was primarily in the delivery of large trailers but the delivery of decking units also decreased, as described above. EBITDA decreased primarily because of the lower volume. Insurance/Finance Insurance/Finance operating revenues decreased $511,000 in the first six months of 2000 compared to the first six months of the prior year to $1,549,000 reflecting a decrease in owner-operator insurance premiums. The Company also experienced decreases in bodily injury, property damage and cargo related claims in the first six months of 2000. As a result of the above factors the loss at the EBITDA level decreased in the first six months of 2000 compared to the prior year period by $442,000 to $3,964,000. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Operating activities used $2,120,000 of cash in the first six months of 2000 primarily to fund the net loss, the seasonal increase in trade accounts receivable and pay prior year federal and state tax liabilities. Trade accounts receivable days sales outstanding (DSO) decreased from 28 days at December 31, 1999 to 27 days at June 30, 2000. The March 30, 2000 amendment to the Credit Facility limits payments of dividends to $120,000 annually and limits borrowings and letters of credit to the borrowing base. The borrowing base as of June 30, 2000 was $11,082,000 with $8,775,000 letters of credit outstanding. The Company has no borrowings as of June 30, 2000. The letters of credit are primarily required for self-insurance retention reserves. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2000. The Company had minimal exposure to interest rates as of June 30, 2000, as substantially all of its outstanding long-term debt bears fixed rates. The Credit Facility mentioned above bears variable interest rates based on either a Federal Funds rate or the Eurodollar rate. Accordingly, borrowings under the Credit Facility have exposure to changes in interest rates. Under its current policies, the Company does not use interest rate derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate changes. Also, the Company currently, is not using any fuel hedging instruments. Inflation Most of the Company's expenses are affected by inflation, which generally results in increased costs. As of June 30, 2000 the effect of inflation on the Company's results of operation was minimal. The transportation industry is dependent upon the availability and cost of fuel. Although fuel costs are paid by the Company's owner-operators, increases in fuel prices may have significant adverse effects on the Company's operations for various reasons. Since fuel costs vary between regions, drivers may become more selective as to which regions they will transport goods resulting in diminished driver availability. Also, the Company would experience adverse effects during the time period from when fuel costs begin to increase until the time when scheduled rate increases to customers are enacted. Increases in fuel prices may also affect the sale of recreational vehicles by making the purchase less attractive to consumers. A decrease in the sale of recreational vehicles would be accompanied by a decrease in the transportation of recreational vehicles and a decrease in the need for Driver Outsourcing services. Impact of Seasonality Shipments of manufactured homes tend to decline in the winter months in areas where poor weather conditions inhibit transport. This usually reduces operating revenues in the first and fourth quarters of the year. The Company's operating revenues, therefore, tend to be stronger in the second and third quarters. FORWARD LOOKING DISCUSSION This report contains a number of forward-looking statements. From time to time, the Company may make other oral or written forward-looking statements regarding its anticipated operating revenues, costs and expenses, earnings and other matters affecting its operations and condition. Such forward-looking statements are subject to a number of material factors which could cause the statements or projections contained therein to be materially inaccurate. Such factors include, without limitation, the risk of declining production in the manufactured housing industry; the risk of losses or insurance premium increases from traffic accidents; the risk of loss of major customers; risks of competition in the recruitment and retention of qualified drivers in the transportation industry generally; risks of acquisitions or expansion into new business lines that may not be profitable; risks of changes in regulation and seasonality of the Company's business. Such factors are discussed in greater detail in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.
